POINTS IN HAWAIIAN HISTORY.

Chicago, September 10.-William
w. Hall of Honolulu is in town. He
was one of that committee of thir-
teen that called on King Kalakaua
and demanded that he either abdi-
cate or sign the new Constitution.
ave committeeman filed into the
palace" said Mr.. Hall, "and found
the King at his desk in one of the
rooms. He was pretty well fright
ened and extremely conciliatory. He
asked us to.be seated, but we declined,
and delivered our message standing.
Your Majesty our spokesman said,
I'VE have communication for YOU
The King took the message and be-
gan to read it. The spokesman
said Your Majesty will be given
twenty-four hours within which to
make an answer; and if there is
none by that time it will be consid-
cred a negative one.
eve then filed out. We felt no
uneasiness, because all the reput-
able people of Honolulu were with
us. We formed a secret league
there in January and took in men,
bers until we had, at the time of the
revolution, about 500 citizens sworn.
They had all joined the Honolulu
Rifles, the only local militia, and |
had furnished them all with Spring
field rifles. The King had simply
his police, composed of 100 natives
and about sixty palace attendants. !"
"Are the stories about Kalakaua's
poker-plaping and carousing true?"
Eyes; the adventures who come
over from San Francisco seem to be
the sort of characters Kalakaua likes
best. They beat him at poker, and
get his money. The browning ex-
travagance, however, was his fitting
out man-of-war at an expense of
100000. There are only 10000
people in Honolulu, and not more
than $4,000 on all the islands. So
that boat meant 81 apiece all
around"

THE NORTHERN PAlIFIC.


New YORK, Sept. 15-The following
is synopsis of the Northern Pacifc's
annual report, which was read at the
meeting today:
Vice President and General Manager
Cakes report is a most elaborate
document. He speaks of the compile
ton of the Cascade division as the
most important work of the year, and
refers to acquisition of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation by the Union
Pacific, and the opening of through
rail route from the western terminus
of the Northern Pacific to San Fran
cisco. He shows plainly the wisdom
of occupying the territory with branch
lines, and refers to the Duluth and
Manitoba, and five or six other impor-
tant Northern Pacific feeders under
construction. The extension of the
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba
road on territory heretofore occupied
by the Northern Pacific is referred to,
and the completion of the Canadian
Pacific.
The freight earnings Mr.. Cakes re-
CARDS as satisfactory. He predicts fa-
vorably results in the future. The
number of bushels of wheat handled
by the company was II, ,745, ,566, or 5OO,-
600 more than in 1886: but the earn
ings from the traffic were thousands Of
dollars less than during last year.
The live stock business shows re-
markable increase Notwithstanding the
fact that last winter was most severe
one on cattle.
More than 16 500 900 pounds of wool,
hides and pelts were carried, an in
crease Of nearly twenty per cent. The
tonnage of salmon and hops was also
very largely increased.
The total mileage of the road owned
and leased is 3,lO2 miles, an increase
during the year of 295 miles.
The Northern Pacific Express Com
pany earned $SO,979 net after paying
the railroad company $273,833 for
transportation. The gross earnings Of
the express company which we're $685.
864 in 1856, we're 1896 ,573 in 1887.
immigration has fallen off somewhat
in consequence of short wheat crop
in Dakota in 1886 but the prospects
are that there will be an increase next
year.

The Rev. John Jasper says hs has
preached his famous ''Sun do move" SER
mon about 10G times. II preached It
hrst," he says, ''in 1878. Since then I
have had offers from all over this country
and from London. Paris and other places
to preach it; but refused 'em all cause I
didn't think it would be right to leave my
people. One man offered me $400 to 20 to
London and preach the sermon. He even
said he would pay me the money first, and
that ! wouldn't have to walk q step b.
tween here and Europe, and wouldn't have
to walk step after got there" He Il
now very old, but hale and vigorous,
"Soon after first delivered this sermon
here in Richmond" he says, 81 went to
Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
and when / came back a great revival was
going on, and one day 1 baptized SOl
people without coming out Of the water.
That laid me up for awhile. Never had
but three attacks Of sickness in my life.
Since was sick last December my appe-
tite has not been as good as it used to be.
Yes, I'm in mighty good health for an old
man like me. New York Tribune.

First Washington Hops.

The oft-repeated story of how this
industry originated, where the first
plantation was made and by whom,
has been SO frequently told, that were
it not that know it will be new to the
many strangers reading this article,
that otherwise l would omit mention
of the points of interest. In sight of
the village of Sumner, thirteen miles
from Tacoma, stands modest farm
house upon part of the ground first
planted in hops by my father Jacob
r. Meeker, in the year 1865. This
is in the Puyallup valley, near the
junction with the Stuck valley. The
roots were obtained from Uncle"
Isaac Wood. of Olympia, who had cul-
tivated them in his garden at that
place. My fathers attention had been
drawn to these facts accidently, and
he had no conception of the future of
the business of which he laid the foun-
dation and died without seeing the
fruits OF his venture, except in third
crop of few bales. The first crop
consisted of one bale in weight and
was cured in the loft overhead of the
kitchen fire, was marketed in Olympia
and sold for So cents per pound, and
brought $159 %; the second crop
consisted of four bales, which sold for
70 cents per pound and gave as much
money in return as one-third of all
other crops than grown in -Puyallup
valley: 1t was seven years before
much progress was made in planting,
the aggregate acreage then consisting
of eighteen acres and the aggregate
production of 100 bales, and up to that
time not hop was planted elsewhere
except in Puyallup valley, and those
within few miles of the original gar
den. We will grow the present year
nearly or quite $4,000 bales, or in
round numbers four million five hun
dred thousand pounds and which at
the prices recently prevailing would
bring within our borders one million
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars.-Ezra Meeker, in Ledger.
